Delhi-based JD Institute of Fashion Technology (esb 1988) with 25 centres & campuses held its four-day annual fest from August 4 which concluded with  its JD Annual Design Awards on August 7 in New Delhi. This four-day festival of creativity showcased the creations designed by the students of fashion, interior and jewellery design departments on the theme ‘Responsibility’ highlighting the revival of the diminishing arts and crafts of India. The crafts of India are diverse and rich in history and religion. The aesthetics of each state in India reflects the influence of different empires. Despite the steep and upsetting decline of Indian arts, there is hope on the horizon. ‘The idea behind the theme ‘Responsibility’ was to protect the glorious traditions from fading away into oblivion. I am elated to see some serious potential and responsibility among my student designers. In all, this will bring in new set of ‘Responsible Designers’, said RC Dalal, Executive Director, JD Institute of Fashion Technology. _MG_6439 _MG_8095
